An error occurred while sending your post

[Guest]

Whenever I post an article via the windowshelp.microsoft.com web site I
always get the following message:

An error occurred while sending your post
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We're sorry, but there was a problem with the system and your post was not
received. The error has been reported to Operations and will be investigated
as soon as possible. Please try again later.

However, the post always goes through. Is this a common problem?

Its a false-error bug in the web-based newsreader. Most of us here have
gotten used to seeing the resulting multiple posts so don't worry too much
about it. If you want to avoid it try using the newsreader in Windows Mail
or if posting from an XP machine use OE.

This is a known bug. Almost every case where you see multiple posts on this
newsgroup, it is caused by this problem.

If you use a news reader instead of the web site, you will get better
results.

The address of this newsgroup is:

microsoft.public.windows.vista.general

I tried subscribing to microsoft.public.windows.vista.general, but my news
server does not list microsoft.public.windows.vista. Is this branch somehow
hidden from regular new feeds?

Is there a Microsoft news server I can directly connect to? I tried
news.microsoft.net, but no luck.
